The Moon is in Leo.

The Moon forms a trine to Mercury.

The Moon continues its transit through fun-loving playful Leo, meaning we get another day to relax into easy, playful, child like self-expression. It’s a another day we crave love and attention. It’s also great for those who have children or children in their lives to be spontaneous! Remember the joy of imagination and playing and consider spending time with them in simple, creative playful ways, bake cupcakes, play hide and seek or who doesn’t love to dress up?

When the Moon is in Leo we must also remember that life can be dramatic! Some will find themselves either center stage for good reason or for not so good reason. So watch how you treat others today, avoid being vapid and watch for your high expectation’s of others. Balance Leo’s open-hearted generosity with its s self-contentedness.

The Moon forms a lovely trine to Mercury today. This harmonious trine helps us express ourselves in a more balanced way, words will flow easily and fluent. So if you have been waiting for the chance or a right time to get those certain words out and communication something special to someone today is the day! Our thoughts are balanced and it is especially a great day to talk your feeling, affections and intentions towards others.

Have a great day!

Are you suffering symptoms of Mercury Retrograde?

Published on March 27, 2018April 17, 2018 by andycandypants2 Comments

Yes , we are in a Mercury Retrograde

Mercury Retrograde is great at helping bring to our attention those shadow parts of us, parts we may of felt that didn’t need healing. Mercury retrograde is great at highlighting where the healing lies and the truth can be found. In Mercury Retrograde communication, travel, technology, equipment, travel and contracts can be upside down, backwards, misinterpreted, breakdowns and unnecessary disagreements occur.

At work, you can find yourself frustrated even though you’re sure that you’ve explained yourself clearly, people around you do the opposite and your fail-proof computer crashes. You experience equipment and mechanical breakdowns of all types even at home, when out and your car!

Mercury does rule the mind, mental clarity, talking, self-expression so all these over this period can become unreliable, filled with misinformation where important data is missing or misunderstood. During this period we should watch for too hasty communications as Mercury rules our communications and thought process and well in Aires we can become very direct ,assertive and self-centered. Say what must be said but try to remember to do so with kindness and compassion.

Mercury Retrograde in Aires gives us the courage to take action on something you have struggled with over the past few weeks. What curve balls have you been dealing with over the past month? What repetitive issues seem to be surfacing? Career, a friendship, your living circumstance, a draining relationship?

If you have found yourself or parts of yourself being exposed, and in order to work on yourself you are stressed you must remember that you also need to love yourself unconditionally. When there is a lot going on give yourself some space, as much as the mind wants order, you will find when too much is going on we get agitated and stressed. When there is times of stress you must remember you are feeling a lot of things, so give yourself some space. Give yourself permission to experience those emotions instead of categorising it, organising it. Just let what needs to be revealed,happen. In these topsy upside and can be dark days of stress and frustration use your energy and see the small joys and blessing in your day. Even though you may be suffering and want to go on strike, see the small happy moments in the day and the lesson in the bad situations! Don’t stuff your feelings away,

The discomfort and madness we are going through and experience on any level in Mercury Retrograde or not there is a choice to choose love and happiness! You can love someone and be mad, you can be frustrated but still caring, go with the flow, be present to everything that’s going on during this period, and don’t disqualify it because there is discomfort!! It often takes deep courage to admit to your mistakes and it is likely that is a necessary part of the conversation you must have. We all make mistakes, take responsibility and move forward with determination and love.

Moon enters Leo.

The Moon leaves its transit of nurturing Cancer and it enters excitable Leo this morning. When the Moon is in Leo, we are proud, playful and crave the spotlight and attention!We have a need to be creative, expressive and playful. If there is any area of your life that needs an added boost of sunshine, playfulness, attention and energy, today is the day to focus on those areas and harness the energy wisely! Our unique qualities and talents will come out today have some fun! If we are authentic and true to our self and have the back bone to prove to someone your worth today you will benefit tremendously

However, on the shadow side of Leo energy is that we can be too proud to back down when it is needed! We can over take others time to shine! We can be very egotistical and we can boast too much self-esteem that comes across in the wrong way! It’s also a time to think about and ask yourself whether you’re being too proud in some situations.

But overall it’s a great day to show yourself some self-love and attention, shine today and be proud of who you are!

Happy Monday!

Venus in Aries squares Pluto in Capricorn.

Mercury in Retrograde in Aires.

Today brings a powerful transit between Venus in Aries squares Pluto in Capricorn. This transit will cause tension and friction between the planet of love and finances and the lord of the underworld and change! This means there will be intensity and possible turmoil in our relationships over the next 3 days! If anything, this will demonstrate the importance of deep change and the importance of getting out of our own way and seeing all sides to any story or argument in your loving relationships. Issues or stuff that we are not looking for at the moment can arise right now. Thanks to Mercury Retrograde, everything is being brought up to the surface for healing, whether we like it or not!

This is not all bad! If you are in a less than stable, unhealthy partnership, where you finally realize your own self-worth this could bring the final break or push you need to make a change. On the other, if you are in a balanced healthy relationship this transit could give you that extra push to bring up those little things that have been bugging you lately! Welcome this change to occur so that we can move forward in a positive way (although at the time it may seem like a curse, but you will see the blessing in the lesson soon enough).

As I have mentioned it is Mercury retrograde be acutely aware of how you are communicating between yourself and your loved ones. Allow yourself to loosen your grip as power play dynamics and control issue will come into play and will be very strong! Just steer clear of this and especially let go of trying to control every situation, being pushy, playing a victim, don’t get jealous, don’t give into power dynamics, or obsessing and becoming very possessive.

The reality is that you can’t control others full stop! Release your attachment to the outcome.

With Venus in Aires and Mercury retrograde this is also not a time to make new financial investments, Even if the attraction is intensely powerful

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!

MERCURY RETROGRADE in Aires! 22/03/2018

MERCURY RETROGRADE in Aires!

The Moon is in Gemini.

By the time you wake up this morning, the Moon has entered inquisitive, ambitious, intellectual and restless Gemini. While the Moon makes her way through Gemini, you will find that not only yourself but others tend to be more light-hearted, social and talkative.Gemini in is an Air sign so thoughts and communications come into play today. Curiosity and being alert of your surrounds and the conversations being had will spark your interest, also you will be more aware and more alert of others intentions. However, today being Mercury Retrograde don’t be surprised if your communications or you normally quick ways if thinking somehow fall flat.

Mercury, the communication and mental realm planet that rules Gemini turns Retrograde This may leave you feeling somehow stuck in your communications in the way you think, your travel plans, business plans, home loans and contracts.

During this period we may struggle or have some difficulties saying what we want to say, or saying things that leave you wondering” Why the hell did I just say that, i didn’t mean it in that context” well that’s if you can even manage to get the words out.

Keys to remember during this Mercury Retrograde…

It is best not to start new projects, but it is a great time to reconsidering an initiative venture or project. It’s great for coming up with new ideas and adventures, but remember do not pursue them yet!!! Dream, draw up plans, make list get the all the information together first and review review review! It’s also strong time for returning, revisiting and rethinking an old project or pursuit you have left on the back burner.We can gain new clarity during this upside down period!
The shortness of Aries communications is magnified making it necessary to be especially careful with our choice of topics and wording. The chances of sharp or harsh comments can do some damage in the long run.
Mercury rules information, communication, reasoning, our manner of thinking, travel, technology, logic and how we express all of these! Its our thought processes and all Mercury related things right now can be off-center. It may feel difficult to say what you want to say, and you can leave conversations wondering if you were understood. Communications are scrambled. Expected the unexpected and clarify all that you do, travel plans, communication , instructions, save and back up your work and even get people to relay what you have just said to them to avoid mishaps. And if you don’t get whats being said relay it back! everyone is experience this Mercury Retrograde!
As I mention Mercury is related to technology so for the next month if you can avoid it, it is not the best time to buy a phone, new computer or tv.
Signing your life away for a new home, a lease, car or any contracts BE CARE read all the information, as not all the information is not in yet or could be missing. Human error, computer error and Mercury error is in play and we do not want to regret doing anything later.

When Mercury Retrograde is in Aries, our mind and thoughts are going at a thousand miles an hour! Everything is GO GO GO, we may get frustrated if people are not thinking or doing as quick as we are. Aries energy when communicating is magnified.. EEk making it necessary to be especially careful with our choice of words, tones and topics.There will be a chances that we may become sharp, blunt or unemotional when making comments and this can do damage. If you feel like you can’t get out of your head and its building up to a point of frustration and you want to explode take a breath, go for a walk, exercise and take some time to reign your thoughts! Do not let your temper, stubborn, impulsive mind take over your mind and how we communicate to others. Aires Mercury Retrograde has the ability to make us feel as what we say and feel is the right way, and have the arrogance to ignore the facts, When people who question our logic and reasoning we can act impulsively and aggressively! As my mother also told me ” Andy THINK before you speak or act ”

Some say this will be a time of tension, however, we need to remember the positive side of Mercury in Aries. Mercury in Aires wants progress, answers, no more procrastination. Its time to push our self to make those positive steps to benefit our self in the long run. Get through obstacles, push our own boundaries, be selfish for once.We have the courage to get the message across and speak up for our self when normally we would sit in silence. When Mercury is in Aires especially when its stationed retrograde we have a great opportunity to taker a step back and have a deeper look at our past decisions, patterns, behaviors and ideas from a new and possibly enlightening perspective. Change is highly possible!

Please ,carefully consider how to manage the turbulent energy of Aires this Mercury Retrograde which continues until April 15th. Remember, Mercury retrograde is a powerful time for accomplishment if you plan and prepare accordingly. Something I really need to take note on!

Happy Mercury Retrograde gang!

Venus in Aries squares Saturn in Capricorn.

The Sun in Pisces trines retrograde Jupiter in Scorpio.

Today will give us a mixed bag of emotions and experiences. The energy will continues to bring us face to face with excitement or anxiety t of differing points of view. Keep your chin up, have faith and a mind open and try to see things from different perspectives.

Venus, the planet of love, finances and beauty, forms a challenging Square to restrictive, mastery and determined Saturn.Venus and Saturn will make us get real and it gets us to ask our self when it comes to relationships, Love and Money what do we value? What is our self-worth? What are we happy to put up with and compromise with?Although Saturn can bring up tense feelings, it will bring awareness to any issue or limitations in these areas and can bring you to a place of peace.This placement will hold us in its grip for several days but it is going to highlight what is working and what isn’t. Remember, it is important to consider what actions you will or can take to move forward or progress during this cycle.

Today the Sun in Pisces forms a flowing trine to Jupiter in Scorpio. This cycle first happened last year in October 2017, it was very shortly after Jupiter entered Scorpio to be fact. Expect optimism, excitement and confidence as these are key energies we will feel during this transit.This Trine aligns the planet of abundance and expansion with our higher ego and self! We are able now to see our gifts from a deeper perspective, we see and feel deeper and we have an urge to experience the world around us. This time is great for spiritual and emotional work, we desire to grow, increase our luck, expand, have fun, travel and have faith in life!

Have a great day, count your blessing and simple smile and enjoy your day!

Let things Go! 09/03/18.

The Quarter Moon is Sagittarius.

The Sun in Pisces squares the moon in Sadge.

Early this morning we reach the 3rd Quarter Moon phase in Sagittarius. The Quarter Moon can be stressful if you let it! It’s a time that raises issues that need dealing with. Is there a theme that keeps repeating itself or just trying to get your attention? Is their conflict, tension between you and someone else perhaps? Are you hitting road blocks in projects? A problem can not be solved by ignoring it, so this is the time to make peace with yourself and deal with whatever issues are coming up!

The Sagittarius Moon will form a stressful square aspect between the Sun in Pisces and it’s highlighting for us to let go of something that has been developing over the past 3 weeks. Sadge and Pisces are mutable signs, adaptable signs which means for us we can compromise, agree and see things from all sides and we have the ability to let go of issues easily.

The theme for today is to get over it and let things go! Shake it off and have a great weekend!
